Cell density meter is an instrument that is used for measuring of the density of (microbial) cells in suspension. The cell density meter is a portable spectrophotometer that can be easily carried from one point to another in the laboratory especially during an experiment. It can be used in the microbiology laboratory to elucidate the […]

MICROBIAL COUNT: Total Count & Viable Count

Viable cell count: Viable cell count gives an estimate of the total number of living cells present in a given volume of a sample. Viable cell count can be determined by automated machines and with the use of counting chambers such as the haemocytometer (Figure 1) in the microbiology laboratory. Haemocytometers are routinely used in
